Hi Everyone, I could do with a bit of advice for my pea puffer, I originally had two but now have the one and it seemed happy enough until this last week I noticed it was starting to get skinny. I went on holiday Friday and did a tank clean and fed the little guy which I thought looked a bit...

I never thought of this, I'll give this a try as it makes my other tank look so messy with all the roots lifting out. I'll have to do this in the puffer tank too as I got some chunky purple glass gravel, looks real pretty but it's not user friendly! Thanks for the help, hopefully in a few...

Thanks @Naughts it's so odd because the day before the test was fine and I had just done a water change, I'd estimate approx 50% and then the day after the test changed slightly. The only thing I can think of is I put a few bloodworms in and the day before brine shrimp (both frozen) and I...

I'll try it and see how we get on. My other tank is due a clean and water change tomorrow which is good timing. Not sure, some say they will be fine, some say not. I will keep an eye on them and if I notice they appear unhappy I'll act on it.

No everything is new although I do have two sponges in my other tank, I'd need to check if they fit and I could may swap them over? I did post that my puffers were not eating the other day but they are now, and go crazy for blood worms.

Hi Amy, yes I have been testing regularly Nitrate is between 0 - 10, Nitrite is 0. Small tank 14L and two pea puffers who appear to be doing well. It has been running just over a week and has been set up with water from a tank running for approx 8 months and has been treated with bacteria and...

This is the test after 1-2 minutes of leaving the water. Front and back.

This is the test before entering the water.
